The Self Edit Framework
The 7 Dimensions of Everyday Life
Your life isn’t just one thing. It’s a living system — a combination of habits, responsibilities, emotions, environments, and choices that all interact.
When one area feels off, the others usually feel it too.
The Self Edit uses seven interconnected dimensions to help you see your life as a whole — so you can make small, intentional edits where they matter most.
Each dimension offers:
gentle awareness of where misalignment shows up
simple language for noticing patterns
a practical entry point for change
purposeful edits that support sustainable movement
Not all at once.
Not perfectly.
Just one good decision at a time.
1. Physical
Your physical well-being is the foundation that supports your energy, mood, focus, and resilience.
When this area is misaligned, you may notice:
• low energy or motivation
• disrupted sleep
• inconsistent routines
• relying on convenience instead of nourishment
• feeling “off” in your body without knowing why
2. Emotional
This dimension is about understanding, feeling, and expressing your emotions without judgment.
Misalignment can look like:
• reacting quickly or shutting down
• holding everything inside
• feeling overwhelmed or numb
• ignoring emotions until they spill over
3. Intellectual
Growth isn’t just about productivity — it’s about staying mentally engaged, curious, and stimulated in ways that feel meaningful.
Misalignment may show up as:
• feeling uninspired
• getting stuck in autopilot
• lack of creativity
• feeling mentally cluttered or scattered
4. Social
Your relationships shape how supported, connected, and grounded you feel.
Misalignment often feels like:
• loneliness or disconnection
• one-sided relationships
• avoiding conversations that matter
• being drained by certain people
5. Spiritual
This isn’t necessarily about religion — it’s about meaning, purpose, and feeling anchored to something deeper than daily routines.
Misalignment may look like:
• feeling directionless
• going through the motions
• lack of gratitude or presence
• feeling disconnected from yourself
6. Environmental
Your surroundings directly impact your mindset, energy, and sense of calm.
When this area is misaligned, you might notice:
• cluttered spaces
• visual overwhelm
• difficulty focusing
• tension you can’t explain
7. Financial
Feeling secure and informed about your resources and finances plays a major role in reducing stress and building confidence.
Misalignment often feels like:
• avoiding money decisions
• living in “I’ll deal with it later” mode
• financial guilt or fear
• lack of clarity about spending or saving
How to use the framework
You don’t need to work on all seven areas at once.
The Self Edit is not about optimization — it’s about awareness, prioritization, and gentle movement.
Start where things feel heaviest.
Notice where tension shows up.
Make one small edit.
Then another.
This is how change becomes sustainable.
